My Impression on "Young Goodman Brown" 

This story relates to a lot of things in the real world,having so much confusion depending on what it has to do with,depression in a dark place.People can relate to this ,since the character was jumping into the past .people don't know what there gonna see what they left behind.

Impression of "My Biggest Question"

My impression on the story was really unique ,every question has an answer,no question is a dumb question. People think if we were to ask a question in class ,it would be quiet and then everyone looks at you ,then your just waiting for the teaching to answer it.

My Response To ''Earth On Turtles Back"

As i read it ,it was kinda confusing at first and i didn't really understand it 

Response to "The Right To Your Opinion"

Theirs always been articles and stories of people dying and coming back to life and telling what happens.people going to heaven and seeing god,seeing family members that had been decreased for a long time .Then other stories say all i saw was darkness no sound,nothing in sight does it mean.God doesn't want then to see heaven because an atheist does not believe in him .But when a believer in god,they see heaven and their loved ones.They both entitled to their opinion ,and will stick with it.As it says in the last paragraph ,some topics people are not interested in believing the truth.But who is telling the truth ?Which side has more evidence? 

Response to "Richard Cory" 

    As i was reading "Richard Cory" the poem begins by introducing the poem .He's a total gentlemen,he's good-looking ,slim,and admired by all of the people of the nearby town.The poem then keeps on describing Mr.Cory,he's modestly dressed and friendly,hes practically loves when he walks down the street,and naturally everyone is excited to see him.Also this dude is rich to everyone in the town thinks they want to be like Richard Cory .But then the unthinkable happens ,despite the money and good looking his high statues in society.He goes home and shoots himself in the head .No one saw it coming NO ONE.
